selecting a florist and planning a honeymoon. They called their
site the Wedding Podcast Network.

09/29/2008 Developer Frustration Growing with AppleApplication developers certainly need some assurance whenever
they spend money and time for their creations. According to
Jason Snell, the editorial director of Macworld, Apple Inc.
is now lacking the transparency that the developers need. Aside
from that, the company also does not have enough clarity as
well on how they would reject or approve applications that will
be available on the App Store. These are the applications that
